Volkl Wall + Rocker

I've skied two very different skis in the park these last two seasons.

First was the Volkl Wall:
-Full Camber
-Stiff Flex
-Symmetrical
-Stomps hard both ways

Second was the 11-12 Line Blend:
-Camber rocker
-Soft Flex
-Super buttery
-Very playful

Having ended this season and looking to the future, I'm pretty much looking for a complete cross between these two skis.

I'm essentially wondering if there is a wider rockered Volkl Wall out there, hehe.

Anybody else have this problem?

I unfortunately haven't been able to test out my Filthy Riches due to injury, but in terms of geometry they're exactly what you're looking for, albeit perhaps a bit softer.

Yeah I was looking at the filthy rich. It seems like they have a lot of rocker, and flex.

I ride the Filthy Riches and i love them, they have an 88 waist and are stiffer in the centre than you might assume so stomping big tricks is no problem, rails are an absolute blast on them and i find myself just jibbing all over the mountain just jumping over stuff and buttering all over the place. I couldn't recommend them more.

feel free to PM me if you have any other questions.

check out some rossi skis like the Rossi sickle. its 99 underfoot, but i see people hit 80 foot jumps with them and be perfectly fine, then i see people butter around like madmen on them.

armada alpha 1's are 92mm underfoot next year and they are a stiff jump ski with rocker. I havent ridden them but they seem like the ski for you.
